Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Chapter 854: Comprehending the Immortal Will of Thunder Again

“Whoosh!”

An azure light flashed, and a figure headed for where Xiao Chen was. When Xiao Chen saw who it was, he was not astonished. This was the only person who could sense him in the entire Heavenly Saber Pavilion.

“Junior Xiao Chen greets Senior Leng,” Xiao Chen said sincerely as he bowed respectfully.

The person who arrived was the younger brother of the previous Sect Master. Now, the person who wielded the Divine Weapon—the Heavenly Universe Saber—was him, Leng Tianhe. This person had saved Xiao Chen once before.

Even though Xiao Chen did not fear Leng Tianhe as a result of his current strength—his strength even surpassed Leng Tianhe’s somewhat—he still needed to show some basic respect. Xiao Chen owed him his life. He had to remember this favor for as long as he lived, to never forget it.

Leng Tianhe frowned slightly. He was not surprised at Xiao Chen’s current strength. There was some pleasant surprise on his face, but there was also some disappointment.

“Why did you come back to the Sky Dome Realm at this time? Did the Kunlun Realm’s competition daunt you? Or do you still have some lingering emotions and are unable to put down your worries?” Leng Tianhe asked, standing in midair.

Xiao Chen did not have much to hide from Leng Tianhe, so he explained his situation in detail.

“Heart Tribulation? I have heard of Berserking Qi Deviation before; it is quite common. However, what is a Heart Tribulation? I really don’t know anything about it. It sounds similar to the tribulation of the Immortal Cultivators.”

Leng Tianhe’s expression turned much warmer. However, he could not help much about the Heart Tribulation for he had never heard of it.

“There is a Lightning Tribulation as well as a Heart Tribulation? What kind of Cultivation Technique are you cultivating? You might as well switch to a different one. With your talent, you still can make it in time after changing Cultivation Techniques. Undergoing tribulations is too risky.”

Xiao Chen smiled faintly and rejected Leng Tianhe’s suggestion. Naturally, he knew that he could change his Cultivation Technique. By suffering some small losses, he could avoid the tribulation.

However, he had never considered doing this at all or even thought of it.

There was no other choice for him. He had to fight a desperate fight while confronting mortal danger.

If Xiao Chen did not even have the courage to risk death, then he would lose his edge. In the future, even if he did advance to Martial Emperor, he would not be able to go all the way to Sovereign Martial Emperor.

“Let’s not talk about this anymore. Senior Leng, I brought some things this time.”

Before Ao Jiao’s displeased gaze, Xiao Chen waved his hand, and thirty Rank 3 Spirit Vein’s origins flew out of the Immortal Spirit Ring.

The surrounding Spiritual Energy immediately became tenfold denser. Spiritual fog started spreading in the peak. When the sunlight shone through it, it refracted the sunlight into all sorts of colors.

Leng Tianhe exclaimed in shock, “These are… These are Spirit Vein’s origins. Furthermore, they are all Rank 3! How did you get so many Spirit Vein’s origins?

“With your strength, there is no way you can obtain this many Spirit Veins in the Kunlun Realm.”

Leng Tianhe was right. If not for the Sage Mark Monument barring those who were not Inferior Grade Martial Sages from entering and his success in tricking the Ghost Race and Corpse Race, Xiao Chen would not have obtained so many Spirit Vein’s origins, given his strength.

The only possible explanation for this was a fortuitous encounter. He would not have many such opportunities to obtain so many Spirit Veins in the future.

Xiao Chen did not bother explaining. He said, “If Senior did not make a move back then, I would have died long ago. These thirty Spirit Veins definitely cannot make up for the past favor. These are just the kind intentions of this junior. I hope that Senior will not reject them.”

Leng Tianhe laughed loudly and carefreely. He opened his hand wide and took away all thirty Spirit Veins. He said, “Reject them? Haha, I would be a fool to do that. Xiao Chen, I really have to thank you for this.

“At the moment, the Heavenly Saber Pavilion has already capped its numbers. This is because we have limited resources. Your thirty Spirit Veins can guarantee the prosperity of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion for a thousand years. By then, the Sky Dome Realm will have new Spirit Veins.”

Xiao Chen smiled faintly. Senior Leng was very frank with him.

Xiao Chen recalled something. He asked, “Senior, do you know what Liu Ruyue is doing with Princess Ying Yue?”

When Leng Tianhe heard this question, he smiled bitterly and replied, “This girl is too proud. I told her before, since you already formed ties with her, when you become a Martial Emperor in the future, you will not forget her. However, she refused to listen and insisted on going out on experiential training.

“The Royal Clans of the various nations are not allowed to participate in the Five Nation Youth Competition. You know this, right?”

Xiao Chen nodded to indicate that he knew. This was not a secret. Every Royal Clan had a secret realm, so they did not need to compete with the other sects for resources.

As for what kind of secret realm it was, he did not know. Given his position back then, he had already been surprised to be able to learn that sort of information.

Leng Tianhe continued, “The secret realms of the various nations are actually all the same place, just different areas of it. It is known as the Sky Dome Immortal Realm. Although its Spiritual Energy and fortuitous encounters cannot be compared to the Kunlun Realm’s, they are far better than those of the Sky Dome Realm.”

It seems like the Sky Dome Immortal Realm has some relation to the Sky Dome Immortal Lord. If I still do not hear any news in one month, I will personally make a trip there.

Xiao Chen thought to himself, Since Ruyue wants to strive hard, then I will help her grab all the fortuitous encounters in the Sky Dome Immortal Realm.

However, before this, he still had one thing to do.

Xiao Chen asked Leng Tianhe more about the Sky Dome Immortal Realm. One old man and one youth stood on the mountain peak chatting for a long time.

------

After staying at Qingyun Peak for half a month, Xiao Chen bade goodbye to Liu Suifeng and flew over to Thunder Emperor Valley.

Like before, several old men sat cross-legged on clifftops of Thunder Emperor Valley, quietly comprehending the immortal will of thunder that had lingered there for a thousand years.

This lightning was a mysterious phenomenon that naturally materialized when Sang Mu advanced to Martial Emperor. No matter whether it was the carvings on the valley walls or the golden lightning in the sky, these were all born of nature.

Xiao Chen looked down, and his eyes lit up. He could not help smiling gently. The few old men that he tossed into the water a few years back were still there.

Based on these old men’s auras, they were already almost at the peak of the state of thunder.

This time, Xiao Chen did not tyrannically chase people away. He stopped in midair and waited for three days. When he opened his eyes, not a single person remained on the clifftops.

A group of old men stood on the water and looked at the descending Xiao Chen. They all sighed with sorrow.

The news of Xiao Chen returning to the Sky Dome Realm and killing Sima Hong half a month ago had already spread like the wind, causing a commotion everywhere.

That White Robed Bladesman from back then already attained such a terrifying cultivation in less than three years. The people who had once fought him or seen him were all extremely shocked, unable to calm themselves for a long time.

Back then, these old men had wanted to use their seniority and superior cultivation to chase Xiao Chen away. However, their attempt resulted in Xiao Chen teaching them a ruthless lesson.

At that time, these people might not have been convinced of their loss. However, now, even if they still were not, they had to accept it. This was someone who could kill Sima Hong with one finger. Who were they, next to him?

“What is he doing in Thunder Emperor Valley? I heard that he already comprehended the will of thunder. Isn’t coming here to comprehend already useless?”

“Could it be that he is thinking of subduing this immortal will of thunder?”

“That is impossible. In the past, several major characters of the Sky Dome Realm wanted to come and subdue it. However, they all had to return dispirited. They even nearly died.”

“Who knows? He is not an ordinary Martial Sage.”

When the many old men saw the white figure in Thunder Emperor Valley, they discussed with each other what Xiao Chen was going to do.

Xiao Chen watched quietly as golden lightning occasionally flashed in the sky. When he sensed that faint might, he felt astonished.

The stronger one was, the more one would revere this immortal will of thunder. In the past, he was ignorant; he could only feel that the lightning was very strong. However, he did not know exactly how strong.

Now, Xiao Chen also comprehended the will of thunder. Likewise, it was also the immortal will of thunder. So he understood some of its finer details. Now, he had a more objective understanding of the might of this will of thunder.

Even in the Kunlun Realm, this will of thunder would be able to injure a grandmaster-level Martial Sage. If a Superior Grade Martial Sage was careless, they might end up dying.

Xiao Chen, have you decided? Do you really want to subdue this immortal will of thunder? Don’t blame me for not reminding you when you accidentally injure your own Source Energy, Ao Jiao said.

Xiao Chen stared for a long time before slowly replying, “I’ve decided. I’ll just take it as experiencing the might of a Lightning Tribulation in advance. If I succeed, my will of lightning should be able to gain a qualitative improvement.”

Thunder rumbled without end; bolts of lightning tore through the sky. The sky seemed awash in electric light. The white figure looked very desolate and frail in Thunder Emperor Valley.

Occasionally, lightning headed towards Xiao Chen. He waved a hand enveloped in electric light. That was his immortal will of thunder.

A surging force poured out, and he shattered the lightning that descended into countless sparks flying everywhere in the air.

Xiao Chen stared straight at the sky. In that place, there was a golden bolt of lightning slowly swimming around. It was the source of all the lightning in the surroundings. This was his target on this trip.

He pushed off the ground, and a strong fighting intent boiled in his heart as he soared into the sky. He had to subdue this will of thunder today.

“Boom!”

Xiao Chen had just soared a hundred meters into the air when a bolt of lightning lashed at his head, not giving him any time to dodge.

When the lightning descended, he clashed with it head-on. Electric fire immediately lit up on his body as electric arcs crackled and flickered.

Xiao Chen felt slightly numb. However, he was still fine. His internal organs suffered no damage at all. A lightning bolt of such a level could not injure him.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

A bolt of lightning landed on Xiao Chen with every ten meters of ascent. The thunderous roars resounded in the valley. The space around him already shattered, pitch-black cracks spreading out and widening.

Dark clouds filled the skies for hundreds of kilometers, completely blocking the sun. The scene around Thunder Emperor Valley looked extremely horrifying. The old men on the water could not help but retreat one kilometer.

They watched as lightning tore the sky and Xiao Chen advanced amid the electric light. They all held their breath in rapt attention, not daring to make a peep. This scene was simply too shocking.

It was just like defying heaven. Lightning streaked across the dark sky. The strength bursting out of the seemingly insignificant white figure was actually this stupendous!

At some point in time, three people arrived behind them. When the old men discovered these three people, they were all greatly astonished.

These three were the Group Leader of the Boundless Sea’s Black Dragon Group, the Sacred Heavenly Church’s Church Master, and the Commander of the Devil Savanna’s Black Flag Army.
